JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 10.2 parabola,ellipse,hyperbola

The equations of two sides of a variable triangle are \(x =0\) and \(y =3\), and its third side is a tangent to the parabola \(y^2=6 x\). The locus of its circumcentre is :

  1. A \(4 y^2-18 y-3 x-18=0\)
  2. B \(4 y^2+18 y+3 x+18=0\)
  3. C \(4 y^2-18 y+3 x+18=0\)
  4. D \(4 y^2-18 y-3 x+18=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4 y^2-18 y+3 x+18=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y^2=6 x \quad y^2=4 a x \) \(\Rightarrow 4 a=6 \Rightarrow a=\frac{3}{2}\) \(y = mx +\frac{3}{2 m } ;( m \neq 0)\) \(h =\frac{6 m -3}{4 m ^2}, k =\frac{6 m +3}{4 m }\), Now eliminating \(m\) and we get \(\Rightarrow 3 h=2\left(-2 k^2+9 k-9\right)\)…
